Date: May 7, 2007
Location:
North Fork of The South Platte
Weather: Cloudy morning-
snow and rain in the afternoon.
River Condition: Slightly off color and 125 cfs. Water was really cold in
the upper 30's
Guide: Jake Goin 2 clients full day trip.
Fly Fishing Report:
Fishing was great! The slightly off color water allowed for bigger flies and
heavier tippets. We started off the day with several nice fish landed as
well as several nice ones lost after great fights. Janelle landed a gorgeous
big brown trout as her first fish of the day, a nice surprise!
Excellent fishing continued throughout the day with the hungry trout hitting
large stonefly and caddis patterns.
Fishing should continue to be very good even as the waters rise from
runoff. Also some of our smaller waters should fish excellent for the next
few weeks.
Call us at 303-325-5515 for availability and trip bookings!
Testimonial:
Thanks for the great day of fishing!

Our fly fishing day trip at North Fork Ranch was awesome.
This was our first fishing trip in Colorado, and we will definitely be
returning. Colorado Trout Hunters is very organized (great
communication too - even had notes about my need for a left-handed rod
setup). Jake, our fantastic guide, was so attentive; he keep a watchful eye
on both of us, making sure we landed fish, took photos (helped net the
fish I dropped from trying to hold for photos), and untangled us quite
often. Though I need to work on my "holding the fish for photos" technique
(and fly-fishing skills), the entire day trip was a memorable experience. I
am so excited to return, I can hardly wait! In fact, I told Kevin that I want to
return for my birthday. The North Forth Ranch was amazing too; lunch
was unforgettable. Thank you again Jake for being one of the best fishing
guides we've had.
Thanks,
Janelle Lau

This beautiful brown trout was Janelle's first fish of the trip.
Nice "football" shaped rainbow trout.
